  1. My PC has some kind of i7, as much RAM as I could fit into it and a couple of SSDs and a couple of normal hard drives. I've no idea what gfx card it has, nor sound card. Sadly, I stopped caring about PC tech a few years ago, and now I just use it for interwebbing and photo/video editing. My consoles are for my games, no need to faff around with silly settings chasing that extra 1fps and 1080p on a 55" telly is better than billionty res on a 27" monitor. I used to love all the tech and modding, I was heavily into that scene back in the day via PC Format and the forums there.
  2. I'll have a look for some of mine when I get home, good idea I'm just hoping you've banned GF Williams from this else there's no point in playing!
  3. Don't go on which way the grooves go, you go by which way the vanes inside go. That's what cools the disc, and fitting them the wrong way round will kill them quicker than Greekman can. As above though, check with the manufacturer.
  4. Worrying thing is whether they've seen the red light but make a conscious choice to jump it, or just don't see the light at all. I'm not sure which is worse.
  5. Zackerly. They're all idiots too. I get how people can justify speeding, on the correct road. It's something I'd do because I like my licence, but I can see why people do it. What I cannot fathom is how anyone in their right mind would think it's okay to go through a red light? If you're going to get rear ended by the car behind if you stop, then you're both driving like numpties.
  6. I have never, ever driven through a red light. Anyone who has done so is a complete idiot, and I have no idea how they can even try and justify that. What part of BIG FRICKING RED LIGHT do you think doesn't mean stop?
  7. Odd, that's the exact same two products that I've found to be amazing as well. Especially the Hellshine!
  8. Any BMW is not a more focused driver's car, so you can rule out any of those. Likewise any Merc. Both make great cars, but they're not more focused than a Zed. If you want more focused, but without going silly (like a Caterham, for instance) then either you get an Elise variant or maybe a Megane R26.R, or you strip all the weight out of the Zed and modify the stopping, handling and power parts, in that order. I don't think an S2K is a much more focused car to make it worthwhile changing.
  9. Agreed. Everyone should own one once in their life, they're amazing.
  10. Nuke the entire hub from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
  11. The wax is crap, so basically that's exactly what you're buying it for, those products you mention. And yes, they are very good, and you get a good size sample. That's the reason I'm stopping, I already have stuff I've not used yet. A few products have dual usage, for example exterior trim cleaner can also be used inside.
  12. I'm not purchasing this month. I've still got too many products that are basically the same sitting on my shelf, and the last thing I need is more. I will miss the air freshener though
  13. No sweat, they're all based on a bit of scaffolding regardless!
  14. Because it's not an actual Sagaris, It's a Tuscan.
  15. Remove the engine damper, is the noise still there? I doubt that's the cause, but it's an easy one to check.
  16. Targa, not convertible Looks ace. I just wish TVR had stayed around long enough to make a real one.
  17. It wasn't a rant at all. It was an observation, something you lack if you routinely jump red lights even at places you know to be a bit dodgy. And no, since I grew up I've not been caught for speeding. Oddly that's because I don't speed, but I'm sure you'll choose not to believe as well. I care not a jot.
  18. There's a difference between making a dash for the yellow and jumping a red. That bloke jumped a red, he was quite clearly never going to make it. And funnily enough Dblock, most of us on here are careful drivers who have an ounce of common sense and tend to not jump a red light. Try not to tar us all with the Brush Of Crap Observation And Driving that you seem happy to paint yourself with
  19. Everyone loves a Singer. I saw some of this last night, the bit with Hammond driving the Sesto Elemento. It was gash. Poorly scripted, not funny, not particularly well shot, and zero emotion of the car. It disturbs me how one of my favourite car journos, Dickie Meaden, can be involved in something so incredibly tedious.
  20. Amber after red means release the brake NOW so launch control takes over, and let's you rape the snot out of that Transit that's been sat up your arse for the last 6 miles.
  21. MY EYES THEY BURN WITH AIDS Those wheels are a shocking choice.
  22. I'm going to quote this, for that time when someone jumps a red light and ploughs into the side of your car. Will it just be a tiny mistake then?
  23. Depends. Will it affect the settings you have on the car already? No, I don't think so, unless you're particularly cack-handed and knock crap out of the car when fitting them. Will they affect the way the car handles afterwards? Yes, so the car will no longer handle like the geo you specified. That may seem contradictory, but it's not.
  24. I don't want to live on this planet any more.
